"After visiting Chenzhou, I discovered this hidden gem of a route to avoid the crowds! My bestie begged me not to post it on WeChat Moments!" I just took some friends on a trip to Chenzhou, and for the price of a bowl of fish noodles, we got a fantastical and wild experience! This guide addresses the three biggest pain points: crowds, potential pitfalls, and not knowing where to stay. Save it! ✨ 🚶♀️ Two-Day Itinerary (Enjoy the Amazing Beauty and Wildness) Day 1: Misty Xiaodongjiang River + Bailang Cycling ✅ 5:30 Xiaodongjiang River Mist Viewing (Reach Observation Deck 2 before 6:00 AM for a breathtaking fisherman's net-casting show) ✅ 8:00 Dongjiang Lake Dam (Boat Tour, VIP Access Saves 1-Hour Line) ✅ 12:00 Bailang Lake Cycling (E-bike Rental 50 RMB/day, Capture "Little Erhai Lake"-style Photos) 🌙 6:00 PM Suspension Bridge Night Market (Must-Try: Pig-Slaughtering Rice Noodles, Fish Noodles, Grilled Dongjiang Fish) Day 2: Gaoyiling and Yangtian Lake Prairie ✅ 7:00 AM Gaoyiling (Walk the "Dragon's Back" to save entrance fees, drone photography is even more stunning) ✅ 11:00 AM Yangtian Lake Prairie (Feed the Deer and Hobbit House, Pretend You're in New Zealand) 🌙 4:00 PM Must-do before returning: Buy a bag of Linwu duck as a souvenir (choose mild for spiciness!) 🍜 Food Hits and Hits (A Bloody Summary) 👍 Must-eat List Breakfast: Jinguo Fish Noodles (with sour beans and a fried egg, 10 yuan per person, full) Snack: Rice Dumplings (from the grandmother's stall at the train station, thin skin and generous filling) Dinner: Dingjiajia (blood duck and taro duck, 60 yuan per person) 👎 Warning "Dongjiang Salmon" at the entrance to the scenic area (mostly rainbow trout impersonation) "Grilled Dongjiang Fish" for 10 yuan for 3 skewers at the night market (so small it's almost impossible to fill your mouth) 💡Secret way to enjoy it: Ask the owner for an extra spoonful of chili oil for the fish noodles! It's so fragrant it'll leave you breathless! 📸 A photogenic spot (avoid tourist photos) Xiaodongjiang Observation Deck No. 2 (morning mist and backlit fishing nets for an ink painting effect) Gaoyiling Dragon Back (use a wide-angle lens to capture the "Mars surface") Yangtian Lake Windmills (best lighting around 4 pm, look even more ethereal in a white dress) 👗Outfit suggestions: Wearing Hanfu in Xiaodongjiang instantly transforms you into a chivalrous warrior Wearing overalls and Doc Martens in Gaoyiling for a post-apocalyptic, wasteland-inspired vibe 🚗 Transportation Tips Take the high-speed rail to Chenzhou West Station and share a car to Xiaodongjiang (30 yuan per person, cheaper than a taxi). Choose the "Farmer's Villa" entrance at Gaoyiling (save an hour of climbing). Rent a round-trip car to Yangtian Lake for 400 yuan (the mountain road is dizzy, so don't drive yourself!). 💰 Money-Saving Tips: Buy Line B of the Xiaodongjiang Morning Mist Ticket (which includes a boat ride and is worth more than Line A). Stay in Zixing City for 60% cheaper than the scenic area. 💌 A Local's Secret Easter Egg Xiaodongjiang also has light mist at 4 pm (less crowded and free). Aerial photos of Gaoyiling's "Monitor Lizard Lake" look like a dinosaur's back. Take a boat to Phoenix Island from Bailang Wharf (secretly haggle down to 80 yuan per person). Do you think the fishermen casting their nets on Xiaodongjiang are posing for photos or are they actually fishing? Or...what outrageous scams have you encountered in Chenzhou? **Battle in the Comments! **👇

Dingjiajia is the No. 1 Hunan restaurant in Chenzhou. The taste is really amazing, so delicious that it's flying. This is the first choice for friends or family gatherings. The environment is beautiful, but the business is too good. You can never book a private room if you go there on time, and you may have to wait for a seat even in the lobby. There is a large parking lot next to it. Parking is convenient.
